Here it may be well to state that "The Sepher Yetzirah" or "Book of Formations" allots to each of these "Paths" as well as to the "Ten Sephiroth" which it describes as "The First Ten Paths" (Making in all the Thirty-two Paths of Wisdom), a certain type of INTELLIGENCE, and though I do not consider this is of very great importance so far as the present work is concerned, we might just as well learn these titles as we proceed so as to develop our system of correspondences.We must then deal with the Sephiroth first:
1. Kether is called "The Admirable or Hidden Intelligence. "
2. Chokmah is called " The Illuminating Intelligence. "
3. Binah is called " The Sanctifying Intelligence."
4. Chesed is called "The Measuring, Cohesive or Receptacular Intelligence."
5. Geburah is called "The Radical Intelligence."
6. Tiphereth is called "The Intelligence of the Mediating Influence. "
7. Netzach is called "The Occult Intelligence."
8. Hod is called "The Absolute or Perfect Intelligence. "
9. Yesod is called " The Pure or Clear Intelligence. "
10. Malkuth is called " The Resplendent Intelligence. "
So far we have disposed of the Ten Sephiroth and we shall now deal with the "Paths" which connect them.
These paths are numbered from ELEVEN to THIRTY-TWO each corresponding to a LETTER of the Hebrew alphabet shown by the leading authorities as in order from KETHER to MALKUTH.
From KETHER proceed three Paths the first of which is numbered 11 and attributed to Aleph; it joins Ketber and Chokmah and is called the SCINTILLATING Intelligence.
12 is the Path of Beth, it unites Kether and Binah and is called the Intelligence of TRANSPARENCY.

Three Paths proceed from CHOKMAH. The 14th is the reciprocal path uniting Chokmah with Binah. It is the path of Daleth and is called The ILLUMINATING Intelligence. The 15th, or Path of Heh joins Chokmah and Tiphereth and is called the CONSTITUTING Intelligence, and the 16th path of Vau unites Chokmah with Chesed. It is called The TRIUMPHAL or ETERNAL ONE.
